When the heating temperature is 60 ℃ or higher, hydrolysis of an acetal compound or the like tends to proceed sufficiently, and when the heating temperature is 130 ℃ or lower, vaporization of water from an aqueous layer containing 1, 3-butanediol is suppressed, and the hydrolysis rate of an acetal compound or the like tends to be maintained.

[ Low boiling distillation Process ]
The low boiling point distillation step in the method for producing 1, 3-butanediol according to the present embodiment is a step of distilling off low boiling point components from the 1, 3-butanediol obtained in the dehydration distillation step.

(Extraction step)
1, 3-Butanediol 100 g, water 100 g and methyl isobutyl ketone 100 g manufactured by KH Neochem Co., ltd.) were added to a 500 mL separable flask, and the mixture was stirred at a temperature of 10℃for 10 minutes at a rotation speed of 500rpm and then left to stand for 5 minutes, so that the phases were separated into an aqueous layer and an organic layer. To the separated aqueous layer, methyl isobutyl ketone 100 g was further added, and the same procedure was repeated 2 times.
(Dehydration distillation Process)
Then, the aqueous layer obtained in the extraction step was added to an eggplant-shaped flask, and dehydrated and concentrated at an oil bath temperature of 150℃and 8 kPa for 30 minutes to obtain 79. 79 g of 1, 3-butanediol.
As a result of HPLC analysis performed on the 1, 3-butanediol obtained in the dehydration distillation step after the preliminary preparation of the sample, the peak and weight ratio of the dinitrophenylhydrazine derivative of 2- (hydroxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxan were 98 ppm.
The obtained 1, 3-butanediol was subjected to an odor test, and as a result, the odor was scored as 3 and the odor recovery was scored as 4. Further, as a result of the alkaline coloring test, the degree of coloration (b) after heating at 90 ℃ for 6 hours under alkaline conditions was 4.6.
These results are shown in Table 1 for 1, 3-butanediol.
Further, FIG. 2 shows a diagram of HPLC analysis of 1, 3-butanediol obtained in comparative example 1.
The present application is based on japanese patent application (japanese patent application No. 2021-084070) filed 5/18/2021, and the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[ Industrial applicability ]
